The Crystal Method: DJ TechTools Artist Interview

A few weeks ago, Ean and the DJTT crew were lucky enough to get to meet one of the DJ and producer duos that’s shaped the dance music landscape since the early nineties, Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland from The Crystal Method. We couldn’t resist the chance to ask them a few questions about their careers and one of their crazy pieces of DJ equipment, the CDJ/double bass guitar/keyboard, before they went on to play their big show – and our cameras were rolling!

Thanks DJ Tech Tools for this interview! Their bass/CDJ creation is one of the most unique instruments I’ve ever seen. I do wish they explained more about how their iPhone works with this cool invention.

I uh, well, its, I’ve got stuff like.. I, y’know.. well its gonnna be.. should stick a midifighter in there.

Haha well it’s not really “DJing”, no- But with more and more ways to actually perform electronic music, those who grasp desperately to the traditional sense of a DJ just mixing tracks are struggling to stay relevant.

Amazing bass/cdj … thing! Did DJTT get any more information about their setup and gear that you can share with us? It would be cool to know more about the signal flow of that instrument, how it all hooks up etc.
